Bottoms up! This sparkling festival will have everyone cheering! Tasmania is widely known as a hot spot for Australia's premium sparkling wine and this unique festival highlights the industry beautifully. According to the Effervescence website, around half Tasmania's Pinot Noir and three quarters of its chardonnay are now highly prized for sparkling wine. 

"The best sparkling wines are now predominantly sourced from Tasmania" - James Haliday, 2014, Australian Wine Companion.  

Effervescence is a festival that actually spans across several locations in Tasmania, with a wide variety of events taking place. Beginning Sunday, 11th November until Sunday, 18th November. 'The Grand Tasting' highlighted here is just one of the many delights taking place on the well renowned Josef Chromy Estate for the festival. A "decadent garden party" with music to entertain, wine presenting, tasting and selling (from 10 premium vineyards), will all be available on the day under the marquee.

Relbia is a mere 15 minute drive from launceston, a short, scenic drive away.
